I started with Mariel a year before my wedding but felt like I knew her longer right away. She is very energetic, motivated, and organized. Her attention to detail is truly a gift. There is not one thing that I could have wished for more from her. She was always available to listen, comfort, and give understanding. In life it is not every day you come across someone as genuine as Mariel. I am truly blessed to have worked with her, my wedding was beautiful. Mariel and her husband are a very special team/couple. I will be using EBM again for other special events and feel as though I have made a friend for life. Thank you again. Mrs. Tammy Huaman

Mariel is truly a God send. Not only was she very easy to work with, she was also very professional and went to great lengths to make sure our vision came to life, and that we were happy! She took any last minute changes and unforseen events in stride and cleverly turned it into something even better than the original plan. Thanks to her, our wedding went smoothly and everyone was well taken care of. She is truly talented and would be a wonderful addition to anyone's planning process :)

Having Mariel as a wedding planner was a dream come true! She is amazing at what she does and executes everything flawlessly. Even though we live in New Jersey, Mariel helped us plan an incredible Miami wedding. She introduced us to many different vendors and helped us create a great team to hold our event. Despite being so far, I never felt that Mariel was out of touch- she was always available through text, email, facebook, or phone call. She always made time for us and somehow always knew the details of OUR wedding. Although she is clearly planning many events at once, you would never know. Mariel made me feel like I was her only bride every time we spoke. She is great at easing fears and concerns and acts like a therapist just as much as a planner. She is wonderful to work with and my husband and I both HIGHLY recommend her. She is a hard worker and so detail oriented, I would never choose anyone else to plan an event for us. The day of the event, like every other time, she was there for everything. Mariel thinks of EVERYTHING and adds personal touches that make the presentation over the top beautiful. Everyone who attended our wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and SO much of that is attributed to the amazing work that Mariel did for us. We could never repay her enough- she is worth every penny, if not MUCH more, than she asks for her services! You will not be disappointed by Events by Mariel!

"The best wedding I have ever been to!" That is the comment we continue to hear over and over from people. We hired Mariel when we were all over the place with our wedding planning and needed major direction. Once we hired her, everything finally just fell into place thanks to Mariel. I knew exactly what I wanted just had knew clue how to carry it all out. I explained my dreams to her and she made it all happen. I really did not think it would ALL be pulled off... it was more than I ever imagined. Mariel was there for me every single day, every single step of the way. She would even answer my texts/calls late at night!!! She is so sweet, positive, up beat, and enthusiastic and her love for her job really shines through. Hiring Mariel was the best investment we could have made.. I could not have done it with out her! I highly recommend her services... you will be blown away. It truly was the most fun, amazing, gorgeous, magical night of my life and it was thanks to Mariel that my dreams came true!I can't not thank you enough, Mariel, for all your hard work, dedication and for being there for me every step of the way. I enjoyed every step of it thanks to you! XoXo

M-arvolousA-ttentiveR-eliableI-nspiringE-legantL-ady that is very detail oriented with professionalismI am not your typical Bride; I’m in a similar business and have an idea of what needs to be done. Events by Mariel was a Great gift and surprise from my Fiancé (at the time) and I’m the type of person that likes to do it all myself BUT I couldn’t have done it without Mariel. We worked as a team Shes a very organized individual that will put everything in place from meetings, budgeting, and bringing your ideas to life! This Lovely Virgo attends to details from your napkins being folded correctly to making sure you have lip gloss on and ready for the camera! Great to get along with to the point the bond turns into a friendship ;)I Truly Recommend Events By Mariel !!

Hiring Mariel to help me for the wedding was the best money spent. I had nothing to worry about on my special day and whenever I had a concern she would not only help me sort it out but she would also give me her very helpful advice given her broad experience. I would highly recomend Mariel to any one that asks me for a wedding planner in south Florida. Mariel: thank you so much for making it easier!!!!!

Hi AMIGA! What can i say that probably prior brides have not said...YES, you are THE BOMB...great personality, very efficient, energetic, comforting. You really made us feel very at ease throughout the entire planning for our special day. But, even more so, the day of the wedding. Even though, we are sure there were some hiccups along the way, we never found out. We honestly give you a 5 across the board and strongly recommend you to any future bride and groom. We hope to use you again for any of our other events,thank you, thank you for everything. Now who am I going to call? I'll miss you.Brides DO NOT hesitate to hire her, she is AWESOME!Maria & Andy

Hiring Events by Mariel was the best investment we made for our wedding day! Since the day we met Mariel she was enthusiastic and full of amazing ideas for our wedding day! She is extremely organized and easy going, two very important characteristics for a great wedding planner. It was such a piece of mind to know that she would be there and make sure everything went smoothly, and for us that was priceless. I would recommend Events by Mariel to anyone!

Mariel is a modern day miracleworker as it pertains to wedding. Being the youngest person ever to fly solo around the world I've seen my fair share of events and wedidngs. In just a matter of 4 weeks she put together a beautiful dynamic wedding in a 30,000 square foot aircraft hangar. Everyone was amazed and we received tons of compliments in regards to elegance, lighting, cake, etc. No detail was forgotten and both I and my wife were truly amazed at her work!!! I plan to utilize her services for other important events in my life and would recommend Mariel to anyone without a doubt!!- Barrington Irving

If you want to hire a professional for your wedding that is also a real person Mariel is your gal! She is down to earth, listens to your vision, questions and concerns and the outcome is spectacular. She is so creative and has so many ideas your wedding never has to be like anyone elses if you don't want it to. She sticks to your budget and still makes things look like a million dollars. She truly loves what she does and in the end you have a friend too!

We were recommended by our photographer to work with a wedding planner. It was the best decision we made. Working with Mariel took all the stress away and new ideas came to life. We couldn't be more happy with her service and care with all details. This is was a great experience and we will definitely use her services again.

Mariel was absolutely amazing with everything from start to finish. The only constructive feedback I would give is for the team not to keep giving me a new glass of champagne everytime I was almost out. I needed to be paced a little bit more, but every detail of planning to last minute emergencies were taken care of. I had no idea anything had been out of place.I had a PERFECT wedding thanks to Events by Mariel.

Mariel is incredible and was the reason our wedding was so perfect. Her and Virginia (her assistant) took care of every detail and ensure everyone was having a good time.Mariel is truly amazing to work with. She was always available to talk or meet. In every meeting she was so prepared and organized. Throughout the process, it felt as if I was talking to a friend or my sister. She has excellent taste and provided us with very creative ideas to have a unique wedding. From now on, I will call Mariel to help me with every event. SHE IS WONDERFUL!

Mariel was absolutely amazing and a lifesaver for me during the planning process. She stepped in when another planner fell through and went above and beyond throughout the 6 months I worked with her to create a dream wedding for us. She not only recommended incredible vendors which I was equally impressed with, but organized things down to the smallest detail so I had no worries on my wedding day. She answered countless of my calls that began with "I totally forgot I needed this..." or "We changed our mind and now want this..." with "Not a problem...I'll take care of it". She is a DIY-queen who creates amazing invitations, favors, programs, even votive candles...and it is obvious she loves what she does. I could go on for a while, but above all, I truly felt we gained a friend in the planning process, and I would recommend her without reservation.

I highly recommend Events by Mariel for your wedding or any other event planning services needed. She took charge of all the negotiations, worked with various vendors on our behalf, researched ideas, and saved us a large amount of money. Mariel and her design team suprised me with handmade wedding programs, place cards, wedding favors, and even a beautiful sign in book. She sent pictures of different ideas for flowers, cakes, favors, etc. She also put us in touch with an exceptional photographer. She was always at my fingertips when I needed advice or had a question and never had to ask her a question twice. She will be a friend for life and is great at keeping the bride calm :). Every detail was perfect! Our wedding was in the Grand Bahamas and Events by Mariel is based in Miami. She worked diligently to make it all happen without being on site! If anyone needs a referral, please feel free to contact me anytime. I can't wait to use her again! Best,Alli Rausch

I highly recommend Events by Mariel. She is very professional and her work is excellent. I hired events by mariel to do my cake tooper. Not only she did a great and beautiful job, she also drove to my house to deliver my cake tooper because I was too busy wiht the final preparations for my wedding that I did not have enough time to go to her office. Mariel thank you very much. You made it very simple for me.
